Every person you know has a story occurring at the center of their identity and their progress that is too often expressed as an unanswered question: How do I connect my driving purpose to what I am doing every day? We ask it in different ways, but at the core of who we are as human beings is the question that connects the invisible pieces of our hearts with the visible pieces of our actions.
True leadership requires the courage to let go of what’s good in order to receive what’s better. Whether it’s possessions, positions, or plans, holding loosely allows us to lead with open hands, ready for transformation, collaboration, and God’s greater purpose.
You did it! You started a business with nothing more than a dream and a willingness to roll up your sleeves. You worked hard, really hard, and the business grew. You didn’t know what you were doing half the time, but you figured it out. You made it up as you went, and now you’re leading your very own multi-million dollar business.
The fastest way to lose sight of your business is to stop listening to your customers. What you think is happening inside your company and what your customers are actually experiencing might be two completely different stories. Too often, leaders rely on assumptions instead of real feedback—and that gap can cost you growth, loyalty, and trust.
In this post, Convene Chair Mike Edwards shares how to check in with your customers in meaningful, non-intrusive ways—and how to turn their insights into quick, high-impact improvements.
Are business growth and your faith opposed? Christian leaders often find themselves at a crossroads, seeking to balance ambition with their faith-based values. The desire to scale operations and achieve greater impact can sometimes feel at odds with the principles of service, integrity, and stewardship that underpin their beliefs.
Yet, scaling a business and adhering to Christian values are not mutually exclusive. In fact, by integrating biblical wisdom with sound business practices, Christian leaders can unlock a path to sustainable growth that aligns with their faith and honors God's purpose for their endeavors.

What if God was one of us?
Convene Chair Andy Beal recently shared a powerful reflection on leadership, inspired by The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey.
When we think about Jesus, we don’t see power and prestige—we see humility, approachability, and courage. Isn’t that the kind of leader we all want to follow?
As leaders, we must ask: Are we leading with these same godly qualities, or are we relying on power and position?
Great leadership starts with character worth following.
Loneliness in the workplace is more than just an emotional struggle—it’s a leadership challenge that can impact productivity, employee engagement, and overall company culture. In today’s fast-paced business world, many leaders feel the weight of isolation, and their teams often experience the same sense of disconnection. But the good news is that leaders have the power to create environments where people feel valued, supported, and connected.
